Honour Woman

About

Amouage Honour Woman wears as white florals over a spicy opening of rhubarb, pepper, and coriander. As it settles, jasmine and tuberose soften, while amber, incense, and leather leave a dry warm trail. It starts with clear projection, then stays close to the skin in a steady line.

Amouage Honour Woman opens with rhubarb, pepper, and coriander, giving a start that is both spicy and lightly juicy. Very quickly, a dense white-floral accord takes the center, with jasmine and tuberose especially prominent, while gardenia and lily-of-the-valley add a cool smoothness. Carnation in the heart brings a dry, slightly sharp touch that keeps the composition from becoming overly sweet. A base of amber, incense, opoponax, vetiver, and leather makes the scent warmer and more composed, without a sharp turn in the drydown. In character, it wears quite linearly: the notes stay close to one another and evolve gradually. Projection is noticeable at first, then it settles closer to the skin while remaining present. Honour Woman suits those who enjoy white florals with a spicy entrance and a resinous, leathered dry finish, especially for evenings and calm cool days.
